    I like to look at the shadows of the eclipse shining through the leaves of a tree. Depending on the tree, you'll get dozens of little crescent shadows on the ground. Safer, and prettier.

    Not during an eclipse though. The part of the eclipse just before totality is the most dangerous part, your pupils will open right up due to the lower light levels.

    QFT here. One thing I noticed is all the news sites were saying "don't do it". Well, to many humans, that's like putting up a "Don't press me" button. Somebody with simian curiosity is going to do it.

    It may have been helpful (for a few at least), if besides the appropriate warnings, to have included explanation of just why it is bad; f'rinstance, as you stated, why it is worse during an eclipse.

    this -> Bluetooth and wifi are always on? Is that like a dream for all the gov and bad guys, wtf? thank you sir for this info!

    what:

    "The buttons found in the control centre – which has received a major redesign for iOS 11 – actually do something else, despite appearing to switch off the wireless technologies. Instead, when you press the buttons – both for Bluetooth and WiFi – they'll just disconnect from all the things they're currently attached to."

    Thanks, good to know.

    "The NK missile launch last week occurred with NO warning. "

    Incorrect. I read in one of the Korean news sites about it a day or two before the launch. The stuff that leaks out of the military probably has a day or two delay. I would expect the mil to have at least a 2 day warning on something like this. (I looked up the Korean site because I saw an article in one of the US mainstream sites.)

    Remember, intelligence such as "order Lobster and lot's of munchies for launch site 11" would be correlated at the NSA, along with all the other clues. Or the KSA, or whatever the Koreans call it.

    Here's a definition, just for grins. It will give everybody more facts to argue about.

    Definition of currency
    plural currencies
    1 a : circulation as a medium of exchange
    b : general use, acceptance, or prevalence

            a story gaining currency

    c : the quality or state of being current : currentness

            needed to check the accuracy and currency of the information

    2 a : something (such as coins, treasury notes, and banknotes) that is in circulation as a medium of exchange
    b : paper money in circulation
    c : a common article for bartering

            Furs were once used as currency.

    d : a medium of verbal or intellectual expression

    neither side possessed any currency but clichés —Jan Struther
